Bio and Portfolio - Director of Judging

Kitchener photographer Bill Hall got his first camera when he was thirteen. Within three years, he was shooting both 35mm and medium format film. Bill enjoyed doing his own processing & printing in his colour darkroom. He started working with digital files in 1996 and bought his first digital camera shortly after.

Bill has diversified photographic interests. For several years, Bill and his wife, Deb, operated a part-time business focusing on portrait and wedding photography. In recent years, his interest has shifted to travel photography for its variety of styles and genres. Bill loves sharing his travel adventures through photography. Bill and Deb have hosted photo tours to Scotland and the Yukon, as well as co-hosting several day trips with Photo Tour Trekkers out of London, Ontario.

Bill became interested in producing audio-visual sequences and began with two medium-format film projectors and audio cassettes. He has been producing digital shows since 2004. Bill’s award-winning shows cover a variety of subjects including travelogues, special events, documentary, and projects done just for fun.

Bill spent several years developing and teaching technical training courses in the aviation industry and transferred this experience to his photography by offering workshops and seminars on various photographic subjects.

Bill has been active in CAPA as a District Representative and sitting on multiple committees. He earned an Associateship (ACAPA) Honour in 2015 for his work with camera clubs and teaching new photographers.

For over 20 years, Bill has judged prints, projected images, and audio-visual shows from the local to international level. He has been a CAPA certified judge since 2011 and has assisted teaching the CAPA Judging Course since 2017.

Bill is a member of the Grand River Imaging and Photographic Society, the London Camera Club and three Audio Visual groups based out of the United Kingdom.
